Pick of the Day

Oakland

The Golden Grizzlies are off to a 3-0 start, and with this afternoon's game against Chicago State, a team I picked as a loser in the Pick of the Day last week at Wisconsin, Oakland should be 4-0 by the end of the day.

Prediction Results

NBA: 8-2 (.800) 122-61 overall (.667)
College Basketball: 51-20 (.718) 467-99 overall (.825)
Upsets: 0-4 (.000) 9-22 overall (.290)

Pick of the Day

Oakland

The Golden Grizzlies are one of the most underrated teams in the country, and have lost only twice in recent weeks, against Virginia and Michigan State. They are playing the Youngstown State Penguins next, so they should win since they aren't facing a top 10 team.

Pick of the Day

Oakland

The Golden Grizzlies have improved a lot since a 1-5 start to the season, and they are right in the thick of the Horizon League race. Tonight they face the UIC Flames, with the worst overall record in the conference, so there should be no problem for Oakland.
